ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Directions
(11-15): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given
below it. Certain words / phrases are printed in bold to help you locate them
while answering some of the questions.

This
is an age of unprecedented ‘judicial activism.’ This activism has, at times,
curbed executive actions, earning popular approbation. In a democratic set-up
nobody, however influential, can act arbitrarily. The rule of law must be
respected so that the citizen knows where he stands. To ensure this courts have
to uphold and protect citizens’ rights and interests. People approach the
courts anticipating speedy dispensation of justice. Delays in the judicial
process cause them frustration and disappointment.

An
independent judiciary is a prerequisite for upholding the rule of law and
protecting the rights of citizens that are guaranteed by the Constitution.

That
may not be easy. Judges alone cannot dispense speedy justice. They must have
the cooperation of the legal community and the government.

A
further complication for judges is that they cannot publicly comment on their
judgments. They also have to ensure that the judiciary is not affected by
political interference, especially the machinations of corrupt politicians.

The
judiciary has to ensure that its credibility remains intact in the public
perception. If it is to be successful in doing so it needs all the help it can
get, especially because good judges usually do not go public to defend
themselves.

The
legal fraternity has to play a prominent role in building the image of
judiciary by following, if necessary, self-imposed codes of conduct. Lawyers,
for instance, should not cast aspersions on the impartial conduct of presiding
officers of courts.

They
should also not misuse safeguards provided by a plethora of legal codes, which
help them protect the interests of their clients. They must ensure that their
clients are not allowed to delay legal proceedings and subvert the ends of
justice. Lawyers must assist judges to dispose cases fast.

It
is common in landlord-tenant disputes, for instance, to ask for ‘stays’ and
delay judicial proceedings. If lawyers refuse to be complicit in such dilatory
tactics they would gain in terms of public estimation and enhance the
reputation of the judiciary.

11). What does
the term ‘judicial activism’ stand for?

a)Judiciary
is supreme.

b)Judiciary
is vigilant and active.

c)Judiciary
can cross any limit.

d)Judges
are the most powerful persons in a democracy.

e)No
one can challenge the judiciary

12). What
would happen if the judiciary ceases to be independent?

a)Executive
will become more powerful.

b)Disintegration
will take place in the society.

c)Rule
of ‘might is right’ will prevail

d)People
will get rid of getting expensive justice

e)None
of these

13). How can
the delay in judicial process be checked?

a)There
should be only a single hearing in a case.

b)Judges
should be given a time-frame for the disposal of a particular case.

c)The
working hours of the judiciary should be extended.

d)Cases
which are more than an year old should be closed.

e)One
and all in the chain of judiciary should cooperate with one another.

14). How can
the lawyers assist judges in disposing cases fast?

a)By
appealing for compromise

b)By
not taking the cases of criminals

c)By
not assisting their clients in delay tactics

d)By
making the cases transparent before the judges

e)By
following a strict code of conduct
